Narumitsu Week 2021 - Day 1: Locks/Chains

daiya fans: uh miyuki

me: oh i'm sorry uh i mean oh okay well-

df: i got love for you too okumura!!

like we have miyuki and his aggressive calls and flawless framing, then there's okumura with his soft touches and there's yui with what? ya feel. you want to like him as a catcher but the author doesn't even leave any reason to do so

+ yui got bumped to first string because of his batting, okumura got in for catching, so there's not even a comparison there IMO

+ his fixation with furuya also leaves a bitter taste bc we've had basically two seasons of ppl gawking over furuya until act ii where eijun shines and EVERYONE now sees it, and okumura sees eijun before that? yui barely saw eijun in act ii

im just saying, its understandable that no one remembers yui as catcher bc nothing in the series rlly leave an impression that he's a presence in catching

hell, even Ono has a definition as a catcher and its that he makes his pitchers relax in situations that they need the most and make them feel comfy
